No news is good news for embattled Will Chambers

No news may be good news for Will Chambers, who remains on track to make his Origin debut despite being accused of assaulting a man during a night out at a Brisbane backpacker bar.

The winger continued to train with the rest of the team at Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast on Thursday while the sounds of silence rang out from the headquarters of the Queensland Rugby League in Milton, with managing director Rob Moore not available for comment on the game's latest drama.

It was left to Queensland forward Nate Myles to face the media, with the bearded prop saying he knew little about the exact incident but it would prove a stern test for Chambers, who stands accused of pushing over 24-year-old Tristan Furniss after an altercation reported to be about who owned a hat.

Furniss said he was determined to press charges and provided a formal complaint to police after a marathon five-hour interview with detectives on Wednesday. But no charges had been laid by late on Thursday and nobody was injured during the alleged incident at The Down Under Bar, the same venue coach Mal Meninga was evicted from last year for venturing behind the bar.

With head office having nothing to say about the latest drama engufling the game, Myles stepped up to the plate, saying Chambers would need to overcome the distraction if he was to help the Maroons avoid a costly clean sweep at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night.

"I'll throw it out there - it's just going to be a test for the man. If it wasn't a test getting ready for his first game, now it's a test of getting ready with another thing out there. His footy has been doing enough to get him in the side. I know he'll be all right," Myles said.

"It's not the first time we've had a disruption in camp. As a team, we need to just keep doing what we've been doing. To be honest, we haven't even spoken about it. We'll see how it pans out but I think we'll be fine."

It didn't take long for the Blues to seize on the drama north of the border, with Greg Bird twisting the knife when asked if Meninga had egg on his face after saying his players valued their jerseys, unlike Mitchell Pearce, before game one.

"I guess he probably does," Bird said. "NSW boys have been in their share of strife over the last couple of years, off-field dramas. It's nice to be tucked away in Coffs Harbour and not be a part of it.

"But it's the nature of today's society that the smallest thing is going to be exaggerated and everything from the past brought up. But I am sure it's a storm in a teacup and glamorised for the media."

Bird said the arrest of Blake Ferguson for indecent assault prior to game two last year made it difficult for the team to prepare and said Queensland would experience a similar problem this week.

"I know our situation last year going into game two without Fergo, it did create quite a distraction to start the camp," he said. "You don't want to talk about it or dwell on it, you just want to focus on football. You don't need these dramas."
